Genuinely awful class. Just made me miserable and felt like a complete waste of my time. Horrible, unclear lectures delivered with a really depressing tone. The content of the class sucked too -- lacked cohesiveness or direction. Would have really, really benefited from a final project or ANY kind of application. Absolutely no preparation or direction for exams. She wouldn't even tell us how many questions were on it. It's not even that it's super hard -- it's just that you're given no motivation or direction to apply yourself, or any direction on where to spend your time studying. At least a tough class like 131a has a strong foundation and reason for being difficult. This one is just ridiculous. Horrible, don't take Kassab unless you have absolutely no choice. Awful.

pretty useless class and hard, not easy to get an a. the concepts are not interesting either.
